Can you clear this one up for me Darren? A kid disrupts a school function. He is taken away from the venue so he can't cause further disruption. He's suspended for the disruption.

The principal is the bad person? What am I missing here?

People didn't think the punishment fit the crime? That is what the appeals process is for. Really don't understand why the principal needs to lose her job over this. Nor do I understand why I should feel sorry for the student.

The punishment doesn't fit the crime, and there's plenty of word out there that the principal is a bully; these lines from the article indicate that:"The ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) got involved after the school attempted to keep students from wearing T-shirts supporting the 'Banana Man.' A few students were punished with Saturday detention for their wardrobe decision. That suspension has since been retracted.".

I'm not supporting a student's breaking the rules, I'm supporting the removal of what seems to be a martinet.
